NOTICE: When the diskette drive is not being used externally, remove the parallel diskette drive
cable from the parallel connector.
NOTICE: Use the parallel diskette drive cable only with the diskette drive. Do not try to connect any
other device to the computer with this cable.
If the
option is set to Any Time in the System Setup program, you do not have to turn the
computer off when you connect the diskette drive to the parallel connector.
The drive access indicator does not blink when data is being accessed from the diskette drive connected to
the parallel connector.
NOTICE: Protect the diskette drive when it is not in the modular bay. Do not squeeze the drive or
place objects on top of it; doing so could damage the drive motor.
Connecting an External Monitor
The computer's video connector is used to connect an external monitor to the computer. To attach an
external monitor, perform the following steps.
NOTICE: Do not place the monitor directly on top of your portable computer, even if it is closed.
Doing so can crack the computer case, the display, or both.
1. Make sure that the external monitor is turned off. Set the monitor on a monitor stand, desk top, or other
level surface near your computer.
2. Connect the external monitor's video cable to the computer.
Plug the video cable connector into the matching video connector on the back of the computer,
as shown in Figure 7. If the video cable is not permanently attached to the monitor, connect it to
the monitor also.
